BenDavid Grabinski (who directed the Brandon Routh-Mary Elizabeth Winstead short Cost of Living) is directing the pilot, which goes into production Friday in Los Angeles, with Garret Coffey, Billy Miller and Charles Melton also in the cast. The project has high hopes as it seeks to try to bring tentpole-style stories to the digital universe and make it a model for others to emulate.

The story certainly has large-scale ambition. Created by Tim Daniel and artist Mehdi Cheggour, the story is set in a world where humanity is under attack from gigantic monsters.
